so I have this really loud squeaky sound coming from the right side rear wheel. I've taken the car to the local ford dealer three times already (only had the car since the day after Thanksgiving) and they can't seem to remedy the problem. At first they told me they had to deglaze the rotors...the sound came back within days. Then they told me that the metallic pads were collecting brake dust and they cut a 45-degree angle on the edge of the pads so the dust could get out. Didn't work. The brakes do make noise on braking, but there is also a noise coming out of that wheel at low speeds that is definitely related to the speed (as in it picks up and slows down relative to my speed). This last time, they just told me that noise is normal with metallic brakes! That's BS, no one elses car seems to do this. It's quite embarassing...I have this nice ride (07 V6), but when I'm rolling down the street in my neighborhood, it sounds like some old jalopy coming! I took the wheel off, checked out the rotors, calipers, and pads myself and didn't see anything out of the ordinary, other than I noticed my rear brakes seem to have a line of (rust, or maybe that glaze?) around the outside edge of the rotors (maybe 1/4" or so), that the front rotors don't have. I wonder if the pads are rubbing on that? I tried to rub it off, but no luck. Surely,that can't be the problem? Any ideas, suggestions etc???? Thanks!

Take a minidisc sander to the rotor. Are the back ones supposed to not hit there or what? My buddys car was doing the same thing, and sometimes would pull to the right and we just replaced his front hub and it was fine after that. Tell the dealership to look it at.

If the pad is glazed just rub it on some rough concrete to rough it up a little. My front right brake squeaks( started at 100 miles) now at 1000 and i'm about to take it to the dealer and let them look at it. Send me a link and I will let you know what I find out.
